Every day, settlers invade Palestinian lands to "demonstrate presence" and instill fear: through shouting, property vandalism, trespassing into homes and yards of families, riding ATVs through homes and sheep pens, filming, and creating provocations.
Sometimes these routine harassments escalate into severe violence and even killing.
Settler violence, carried out under the protection and encouragement of Israeli authorities, is an inseparable part of the Jewish supremacy regime, which perpetrates genocide in the Gaza Strip and forcibly displaces thousands of Palestinians in the West Bank.
The Israeli Information Center for Human Rights in the Occupied Territories
Stop the genocide. Now.
B’Tselem – The Israeli Information Center for Human Rights in the
Occupied Territories strives for a future in which human rights, liberty
and equality are guaranteed to all people, Palestinian and Jewish
alike, living between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea. Such a
future will only be possible when the Israeli occupation and apartheid
regime end. That is the future we are working towards. B’Tselem (in
Hebrew literally: in the image of), the name chosen for the organization
by the late Member of Knesset Yossi Sarid, is an allusion to Genesis
1:27: “And God created humankind in His image. In the image of God did He create them.” The name expresses the universal and Jewish moral edict to respect and uphold the human rights of all people. https://www.btselem.org/about_btselem
Israel’s regime of apartheid and occupation is inextricably bound up in human rights violations. B’Tselem strives to end this regime, as that is the only way forward to a future in which human rights, democracy, liberty and equality are ensured to all people, both Palestinian and Israeli, living between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea.
Since the Hamas attack on 7 October 2023, Israel has acted in a coordinated and deliberate manner to destroy Palestinian society in the Gaza Strip, committing genocide against its residents. In light of Israel’s actions in Gaza, the public statements made by Israeli decision-makers, and the international community’s failure to take effective action, there is a serious risk that the Israeli regime will expand the genocide to other areas under its control—first and foremost, the West Bank.
B’Tselem calls on the Israeli public and the international community to use every tool available under international law to bring an immediate end to Israel’s genocide against the Palestinian people.
